Preheat the oven to 160°C (approximately 325°F).
Rinse the meat and pat dry. Season with salt and pepper. In a hot roasting pan, melt the butter and brown the meat on all sides over high heat. Remove and set aside.
Peel the shallots and garlic and sauté until golden brown in the drippings. Add thyme, stir in the tomato paste and deglaze with the stock. Add the meat to the roasting pan, pour in the wine and roast about 2 1/2 hours in the preheated oven. Turn the meat occasionally while roasting.
